Managed by Mass Audubon, the Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary is a great place for people of all to explore. Spanning across Easthampton and Northampton at the banks of the Oxbow, there are several easy trails that leave from the nature center that take you through diverse terrain - forests, meadows, marshes, etc. - which is home to a wide variety of plants and animals. Wildflowers in particular are abundant, due to the sanctuary's location on the Connecticut River floodplain. There is also a Nature Center where you can find staff who can answer questions, trail information, exhibits, restrooms, and parking. Although there is a small fee for nonmembers to enter the refuge, (Adults are $4, Seniors (65+) and children (2-12) are $3), its well-worth it for any nature-lover and goes to support the work of Mass Audubon in protecting and managing these areas.
